Araujo’s move to Barcelona was only completed…18 seconds late
Barcelona had reached an agreement with Los Angeles Galaxy to sign Mexican Julián Araujo but an 18-second delay in transmitting documents meant the transmission failed.
The winter transfer window closed for players signed at Barcelona on their radar last Tuesday (31/01) for 21-year-old Mexican right-back Julian Araujo from Los Angeles Galaxy.
The two sides had agreed on everything but the transfer was called off as there was an 18-second delay in exchanging documents, according to the Catalans’ sporting director Mateu Alemany. Of course, there is an open window for FIFA to allow the transfer to be completed.
“Due to a computer error, we were unable to complete the transcription. The delay was 18 seconds. We’ll have to wait and see what FIFA decidessaid Alemani for features on this particular topic.
